The fourth CA²RE, the Conference for Artistic and Architectural (Doctoral) Research has been hosted in September 2018 at the Institute for Architecture of the Technische Universität Berlin, in association with the Architectural Research European Network Association (ARENA), the European Association for Architectural Education (EAAE) and the European League of Institutes of the Arts (ELIA). CA²RE intends to bring together senior staff and early-career researchers to improve research quality through an intensive peer review at key intermediate stages. It contributes to the diverse fields of architectural and artistic research such as environmental design, sustainable development, interior design, landscape architecture, urban design/ urbanism, music, performing arts, visual arts, product design, social design, interaction design, etc., gathering different kind of approaches. Die vierte CA²RE (Conference for Artistic and Architectural (Doctoral) Research) wurde im September 2018 in Zusammenarbeit mit der Architectural Research European Network Association (ARENA), der European Association for Architectural Education (EAAE) und der European League of Institutes of the Arts (ELIA) am Institut für Architektur der TU Berlin ausgerichtet. Die CA²RE bringt erfahrene Experten und Nachwuchsforscher zusammen um die Qualität derer Forschungsarbeiten durch die intensiven Peer-Reviews, zum Zeitpunkt entscheidender Zwischenstände der Arbeiten, zu optimieren und zu verbessern. Die Konferenz wendet sich an diverse Gebiete der architektonischen und künstlerischen Forschung, darunter Umweltdesign, Nachhaltige Entwicklung, Innenarchitektur, Landschaftsarchitektur, Urban Design/Städtebau, Musik, darstellende Kunst, bildende Kunst, Produktdesign, soziale Gestaltung, Interaktionsdesign, etc. und versammelt so die verschiedensten Arten von Ansätzen.

This book focus on the product design process. It follows a holistic approach covering conceptual design, design methodologies, sustainability, manufacturing, product analysis, materials, design and manufacturing technologies. The reader can find interesting cases about industrial design, 3D printing and 4D printing for wearables. The axiomatic design methodology is presented together with applications in machine learning and knowledge-based systems. Research about personalized fashion and professional uniform evaluations methods are included. Finally, the digital transformation, aesthetic design and the use of materials in orthopedic design is present.

After the six conferences for artistic and architectural research CA²RE+ has contributed substantially to the fact that design-driven research today is a widely established and scientifically accepted research method on most European countries and the number of involved universities is an indicator for a rapidly growing community in the field of practice-based research. This big effort has meant an interchange of knowledge and at the same time the construction of an international net with very valuable connections. We have created a collective learning environment where we have developed a multidisciplinary approach to a design-driven methodology on scientific research along six steps: observation, sharing, comparison, reflection, reformulation and recommendation, that arrive now to an end, or at least to a preliminary evaluation after this three-year journey. In this final book we collect and share the results of the last two events (Ljubljana and Delft) and the recommendations and conclusions from all partners participating in the whole process. Nach den sechs Konferenzen zu Themen der künstlerischen und architektonischen Forschung hat CA²RE+ wesentlich dazu beigetragen, dass Design Driven Research heute eine weithin etablierte und wissenschaftlich akzeptierte Forschungsmethode in den meisten europäischen Ländern ist. Die Zahl der beteiligten Universitäten ist ein Indikator für eine schnell wachsende Gemeinschaft im Bereich der praxisorientierten Forschung. Diese Anstrengung hat einen Wissensaustausch und gleichzeitig den Aufbau eines internationalen Netzwerkes mit wertvollen Verbindungen hervorgebracht. Wir haben ein kollektives Lernumfeld geschaffen, in dem wir einen multidisziplinären Ansatz für eine gestaltungsorientierte Methodik der wissenschaftlichen Forschung in sechs Schritten entwickelt haben: Beobachtung, Austausch, Vergleich, Reflexion, Neuformulierung und Empfehlung. Diese Entwicklung kommt nun, nach drei Jahren, zu einem Ende oder zumindest zu einer vorläufigen Bewertung. In diesem abschließenden Buch werden die Ergebnisse der letzten beiden Veranstaltungen (Ljubljana und Delft) sowie die Empfehlungen und Schlussfolgerungen aller am gesamten Prozess beteiligten Partner zusammengefasst.

The book tackles a number of challenging questions: How can we conceptualize architectural objects and practices without falling into the divides architecture/society, nature/culture, materiality/meaning? How can we prevent these abstractions from continuing to blind architectural theory? What is the alternative to critical architecture? Mapping controversies is a research method and teaching philosophy that allows divides to be crossed. It offers a new methodology for following debates surrounding contested urban knowledge. Engaging in explorations of on-going and recent controversies and re-visiting some well-known debates, the analysis foregrounds, traces and maps the changing sets of positions triggered by design: the 2012 Olympics stadium in London, the Welsh parliament in Cardiff, the Heathrow airport runway extension, the Sydney Opera House, the Eiffel Tower. By mobilizing digital technologies and new computational design techniques we are able to visualize the variety of factors that impinge on design and track actors' trajectories, changing groupings, concerns and modalities of action. The book places architecture at the intersection of the human and the nonhuman, the particular and the general. It allows its networks to be re-established and to run between local and global, social and technical. Mapping controversies can be extrapolated to a wide range of complex phenomena of hybrid nature.

Architectural form reconsidered in light of a unitary conception of architecture and the city. In The Possibility of an Absolute Architecture, Pier Vittorio Aureli proposes that a sharpened formal consciousness in architecture is a precondition for political, cultural, and social engagement with the city. Aureli uses the term absolute not in the conventional sense of “pure,” but to denote something that is resolutely itself after being separated from its other. In the pursuit of the possibility of an absolute architecture, the other is the space of the city, its extensive organization, and its government. Politics is agonism through separation and confrontation; the very condition of architectural form is to separate and be separated. Through its act of separation and being separated, architecture reveals at once the essence of the city and the essence of itself as political form: the city as the composition of (separate) parts. Aureli revisits the work of four architects whose projects were advanced through the making of architectural form but whose concern was the city at large: Andrea Palladio, Giovanni Battista Piranesi, Étienne Louis-Boullée, and Oswald Mathias Ungers. The work of these architects, Aureli argues, addressed the transformations of the modern city and its urban implications through the elaboration of specific and strategic architectural forms. Their projects for the city do not take the form of an overall plan but are expressed as an “archipelago” of site-specific interventions.

This book contains 24 technical papers presented at the fourth edition of the Advances in Architectural Geometry conference, AAG 2014, held in London, England, September 2014. It offers engineers, mathematicians, designers, and contractors insight into the efficient design, analysis, and manufacture of complex shapes, which will help open up new horizons for architecture. The book examines geometric aspects involved in architectural design, ranging from initial conception to final fabrication. It focuses on four key topics: applied geometry, architecture, computational design, and also practice in the form of case studies. In addition, the book also features algorithms, proposed implementation, experimental results, and illustrations. Overall, the book presents both theoretical and practical work linked to new geometrical developments in architecture. It gathers the diverse components of the contemporary architectural tendencies that push the building envelope towards free form in order to respond to multiple current design challenges. With its introduction of novel computational algorithms and tools, this book will prove an ideal resource to both newcomers to the field as well as advanced practitioners.
